Congress party is trying hard to win at least three seats in bypolls. Sircilla, Dharmapurti and Nizamabad urban are the three constituencies the party wants to win.

KTR is contesting from Sircilla in Karimnagar district. Last time, he won with a small margin of votes. Three ministers reportedly loyal to YS Jaganmohan Reddy have been given the responsibility of Sircilla.
